"Stop,' she yelled. "I will do as you say." She finally conceded to him. The smoke stopped and returned to its owner, disappearing out of sight. "And what else do you have to say to me, Rieka." Rieka shivered, with anger burning through her veins. She couldn't stand it. Why are they forcing her to comply with them after so many years of making sure she doesn't make an encounter with her mate? Why did she have to come across them on this day? This is madness. After everything they've done to her, they have the guts. She despises mates. She has no choice but to accept them and, worse, sleep with them just to survive. Thinking of fighting them will cause her death. She can't face seven powerful alphas. She will be dead before she even begins and no one will remember she even existed.
